## TL;DR

This case series study explores the management of joint bleeding after knee replacement surgery and its impact on recovery.

## Contribution

The study presents six unique cases of recurrent joint bleeding after TKA and compares their management with existing literature.

## Key findings

- Recurrent hemarthrosis post TKA can lead to joint pain and limited mobility.
- Clinical investigations and tailored treatments are essential for optimal recovery.
- Outcomes varied based on diagnostic approaches and therapeutic interventions.

## Abstract

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a commonly performed procedure to treat knee osteoarthritis and has positive success rates. However, rarely, patients can experience recurrent hemarthrosis post TKA, leading to joint pain and reduced range of motion, hindering post-operative success. Hence, it is vital to diagnose and treat it optimally. In this paper, we aim to describe the presentation of our six cases that developed recurrent hemarthrosis post TKA, illustrate all their clinical investigations, describe their treatments, and report the outcomes. We also aim to describe our observations attained from the management of our patients and compare them with the literature.
